4、 for that family. All day I thought about Jamess family. I even thought about making a special TV show to raise money for the sick child. On Monday morning, JoJo walked into my office.

I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董)
9、 shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decide
10、d that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, Would you like to buy a chair? Twenty pounds, I said. OK,he said. Ill give you twenty pounds. Its got a slightly broken leg, I said. Yes, I saw that. Its not
11、hing. Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. What will you do with it? I asked. Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. Ill buy it, I said.

12、wenty-seven pounds for it. You must be crazy, he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. Youre right, I said.

16、ycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear. Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed.Scientist
17、s say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Our study shows for the first time that the wa
18、y in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed whe
19、n the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed.Thus, our hearts can also affect what we see and what we dont seeand guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a persons fee
20、ling of fear.Z-x-x-k.Com“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,”Dr Garfinkel said. “We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to de
21、velop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”8. What is the finding of the study? _.A.

24、. finding the key to the heartbrain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads D The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held im
25、age of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels. An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is happier than it has ever been in the past.“We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seem to be about their familie
26、s,” said one member of the research team.“Theyre expected to be rebellious（叛逆的）and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres discussion between parents and children, and children ex
27、pect to take part in the family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat.” So it seems that these parents are much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.“My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-ol
28、d Daniel LaSalle.“I always tell them when Im going out clubbing. When they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it.” Susan Cromer, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call talk or discussion. For example, when Id done all my homework, I could
29、go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.” Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not based on real facts. A researcher explains,“Teenagers were thought to be
30、different from others in a part of time in our social history. But to our surprise, they say they are getting on well with their parents. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.” 12. The study show

60、r senior high students to succeed is to go to college. 75% of the students thought it necessary to go to college, for college education can increase their knowledge and improve their personal qualities as well. However, 15% of the students thought that it is no use going to college because its extre
61、mely difficult for college graduates to get satisfactory jobs. In addition, the tuition is too high for their families to pay for. The remaining 10% held the view that “All roads lead to Rome.” Therefore, they thought it doesnt make any difference whether they go to college or not. In my opinion, its a better choice to go to college because we can receive more education. But if we are unable to enter college, there are many other choices for us, and we can still contribute to society. Yours sincerely Li Hua
